ModCopy

Modcopy allows you to copy UV coordinates for similar modules between rif files.  This is mainly used if you make a deathmatch level, and then you decide to make a skirmish level, that has a few different rooms.  If you don't use modcopy or modcopy2, you are forced to redo the entire level in inteng.  This program will copy everything that is similar between the two maps.  We suggest you use modcopy2 instead of this program as modcopy2 is a bit more tolerate of module differences.

How to navigate DOS

When you first launch the MS DOS Prompt it should read something like this...

C:\Windows>

  1. Now type 'cd\'  (Don't type the ' only the contents of the quotations)
  2. Then type 'cd progra~1\fox\aliens~1\tools\dosutil (that is if you installed it to the default directory.)

You should now be in the following directory...

C:\Program Files\Fox\Aliens versus Predator\tools\dosutil>

Now if you want to modcopy a rif you must use the following syntax.

modcopy.exe 'source rif' 'target rif'

So it should look like this if you want to modcopy fall.rif to fallcoop.rif

modcopy.exe c:\progra~1\fox\aliens~1\avp_rifs\fall.rif c:\progra~1\fox\aliens~1\avp_rifs\donerif.rif

Options:

add -d to remove distance check.
add -o to allow copy over polygons that are already textured.
